Cast out that bipolar demon

[GodLovesYou2]

Has anyone else cast the demon out yet? I was suffering until my deliverance but now life is great? If you don't think it's a demon problem have your blood tested for an imbalance lol

 

[Loven God]

I am happy that you have found an answer to your problem , diffrent kinds of imbalances can throw a monkey wrench into ones life

I know I was having problems and could not figuue out what was wrong blood test showed that I had a thyroid problem and lacked vit.D . Thinges are so much better now . Now if I could only get my bipolar under control that well .

How much time has passed since the exorcism was performed? I.E...how often did you experience symptoms before the deliverance session and how much time has passed since you ceased to experience the "bipolar demon"?


What blood test, for what imbalance? There is no such thing as a blood test for bipolar disorder or chemical imbalances related to BP disorder. What blood test did you get? Hormonal blood work?

I just want to add onto schrodingers post.... Bipolar not only has no real blood test, it also has no cure. Have you contemplated that you are on a "high" at the moment? Or perhaps in the middle ground. People with the condition have often refered to a "calm before the storm" as it were.

I just wouldn't want to see you build up a false sense of being "fixed" as it were. Not that you need to be fixed of course.

 

[Loven God]

You are right there is no fix or cure for bipolar , but it can be managed . It will still have its ups and downs but God can get use through it . I managed to stable for 6 years before I went into a mixed state of mania and depression and was hospitlized . Back to being stable again and I pray for a long time .

ditto...

lt's a mlracle l still believe in god with all these delusions of 'bipolar demons' coursing thru my blood stream. ;/

i hope there is more...more to it all than all this suffering and random chemistry..
sigh...
how insufferable it is to hear such things....I wish fellow churchgoers would refrain from passing judgment .

" In the midst of my suffering, nothing made sense. Reason and logic gave way to instinct and fatalism. Pain is a powerful drug. It altered my perception and was an indelible part of my reality.
I am reminded of ancient Greece, where mental illness was ascribed to demon possession. Doctors would hang the demon-possessed over pits filled with poisonous snakes. The goal was to make the infirm believe they were going to die. They were trying to scare the demons out of them. Sometimes it worked. According to ancient sources, many were restored to a semi-normal life. Of course, only the educated prescribed their treatments and wrote their histories."--david weiss

I do not think anyone is trying to judge you , they are just in there way trying to help . There is no blood test for bipolar for someone to know if if they are bipolar , but as far as healing goes I do know people who have been anointed with oil and prayed for and there bipolar was gone . I know they say it can not go away but theirs did . even went off all meds and has been 3 years and they are still fine , Jesus does heal today day just as He did when He walked the earth .

Not everyone gets healed , God has a reason for everything . I know that everyone will not belive this but it is ok . Everyone has a right to their opinion . It will not hurt my feelings if anyone disagrees with any pary of this .

wasn't referring to u as judgmental...u r very sweet and kind....i was just venting my frustration re xians who consider this illness as demonic...to pin it on satan seems demonic to me even if its unintended.

im extremely depressed right now and wish i cud find relief or an end to all this meaningless pain. sometimes there's no rhyme or reason to entropy...sometimes things just break. all i can hope for is a second chance....a better existence on another more merciful plane.

 

[schrodingers_cat_lives]

i'm just weary and burdened....looking for rest, but rest i do not find and that, in itself, is more painful and lonelier than the illness itself.

sometimes there are no happy endings and even souls seem to slip thru the cracks. it's too grievous to try to understand things anymore...even david sometmes wished he'd never have been born...i hope u all find peace somehow

 

[Loven God]

What I dislike most about being bipolar is just when I have some good day's and think things are going to turn around for me , then it hits and I find myself starting all over again wondering if there will ever be an end for this for me here on earth .

I deal with it the best I can each day and everyday seems to be diffrent for me . It just wears me out at times . I just need a break . I just keep praying for that day to come .

I hope things get better for you as you to try to find some relife from it all . It is not demonic it is a real illness that is devastating to many of us .

i hope my fatalism didn't affect u. the feeling of starting from scratch makes me loopy--fig. and literally. don't give up as i have....think of every start as someone un-pausing the pause button on the remote...that way,it feels like the continuation of a great movie rather than the end.

a little knowledge of the unanswerable kind is a frightening thing. it makes u lament or grumpy.

i just watched a clip of pause animation classic: "the easter bunny is comin' to town" as an alternative to meds. because it made me remember how instinctual it was to know sumthing was comin...a rumor..a mysterious secret in the air...barely imperceptible...hardly tangible..an inconsolable secret children, not yet troubled with philosophy, have no problem accepting not because they are feeble minded or gullible, but because they r still innocent and gravitate to more innocence and some very inward sense of comin home or that home is comin for them---HOMEWARDNESS--something we jaded grownups call 'HOPE'---but the modern watered down connotation of the word hope is the knowingness of homewardness. H0ming pigeons we still r..somewhere in there.
'comin home..l'll be home for xmas'....something always coming..the promise of that something just around the corner...just out of reach......something life-giving, as opposed to reapers, repomen or all those harbingers of death forming lines at our door step. We, who lost our innocence, so easily see dread and angst inside our homes and hearts because those r just as real too-it's the condition of man...the inevitability of entropy....along with hope, all matter and energy winds down till broken jars of clay no longer find the glue to hold the dust particles in place. we die as tragically as the first pain felt as children the day our first loved pet died.

We had to replace child-like 'hope' and call it childish lies told to us to keep us innocent. The easter bunny never did come to town and neither did santa...true love is untrue, we are just as boogey as the monsters in the closet etc....but the marrow in all these tales speak of longing...something both inconceivable and intuitive at once. i watched that clip of bright easter eggs,tulips,euphoric yellows and the narrator singing...'here he comes' and then i remembered how wise i was at age 5....how sure i was that SOMETHING great was comin even when i rationally knew it never was a rabbit or some dude in a beard....they just painted colors with myth strokes, but there always was a pearl of truth sleeping inside that craggy fictional shell. i've read lots of books...learned of physics, q-physics, absurdity/pain, all sorts of ideologies explaining explanations,but none satisfy like the promise of the pearl. Materialists are bound by the empirical limitation of measuring only the oyster shell, but never dare to even wonder of the mystery of the simple pearl--an irritant anomaly born from a grain of sand that morphs out of protection and survival for the ravaged mother-mollusk who ends up giving birth to a rare and lustrous sphere---a priceless thing we're still drawn to and string close to our broken hearts.

stay gold

don't stop diving for sea gems no matter what they say...even when the lights have been extinguished or ur heart feels as heavy as a net of shoe horn crabs.

somewhere in this dark mind, i still lull myself to sleep with thoughts of mermaid. whatever is comin...that easter hope...whatever that is, at least, still won't let go of me.

there is nothing more sobering than depression despite how much it bends one's thoughts.

thanks for being honest...for saying what it really is.

 

[Loven God]

Oh , I have not given up . I still fight a good fight . And I always will . It is just that I get worn out from all the fighting all the time and need things to go good for awhile to renew my strength to keep fighting . You and I are strong people and we know what we need to do to stay on top even if it feels like we are on the bottom most of the time . I have to much life I want to live and I know it will circle around and some better days are coming . Until then I will hang on tight and go for the bumpy ride until I have smooth sailing again for awhile . This time of the year is hard for me any way so I know it will get better when spring starts to return .

 

[looking4joy]

Bipolar isn't demonic. The fears that bipolar feeds on is closer to being devil driven than bipolar itself.

 

[Loven God]

True , it is the fear that Saten ueses to make us feel less then our selfs . If Saten can get us to live in fear then he feels he has won .

 

[schrodingers_cat_lives]

the medical reality of mental illness is threatening to some people's faith---it is the primary reason why demons are used as scape-goats.

i feel badly wen others with bpd r delusional about satan in this respect,but i have little sympathy or tolerance for neuro-typical xians whose medieval dogmas and weak understanding of nature and the nature of god spoon feed each other with this pagan, devil blame game, especially wen they convince the mentally ill that satan is in control of their thoughts---this type of hyper fixation/vigilance is the most sinful of all since it feeds fuel to the fire and can drive even the sanest mind down a maddening road. lord have mercy on us all..... even on the spiritual arsonists who carry death in their mouths and flames on their finger tips.

 

[Loven God]

Wow so true , just like Job. Some people think because the mentale illness it is because of sin . We have bipolar because we have bipolar not because of sin in our life . If that were the case the whole world would have bipolar because none of us is with out sin .

I have read a great book written by a christain psychiatrist . His name is Dwight L. Carlson . He is all so bipolar and the name of the book is "Why Do Christians Shoot Their Wonded . Awesome book . It is about how christians are mean to their own christian brothers and sisters with mental illness and why they should not be that way . It goes into depth about bipolar and then what friends and the church can do to help not hurt us . If you like to read this is a book I tell everyone they need to read . Mostly if they are a christian .

 

[romen33]

I can't tell you how many times in my old church I was told that my bipolar was sin and I needed to repent, or that seeing a psychiatrist was trusting in worldly knowledge rather than godly knowledge, and taking meds showed my lack of faith in God because "my joy should come from God not from pills". all those hurtful statements cause so much grief to people like us. And they used scriptures to hammer their point in. When I told them how much they hurt me they told me to stop being a wimp and repent. And in the end because I "woudn't repent" they disfellowshiped me. Amazingly enough I'm much happier without them and God has blessed me more in my life than when I went to that church.

 

[Loven God]

You had nothing to repent of , they were so wrong for what they did to you . God gave us doctors for a reason . It is people that act like that that turn others away from God . I hope you can find a church that feels diffrent about that , I have and they are very understanding . They even have me leading a group for bipolar and depression , they see were there is a need in the world . I am so happy they as a church are reaching out .

 

[GodLovesYou2]

I originally started this thread when I was newer to bipolar. Although I know God can deliver anyone who is bipolar, I know longer believe that it is strictly demonic. However, some of the symptoms, I believe, could be similar.

 

[Goodbook]

It is to do with trauma.
Nobody can say we without sin, everyone has sinned. We have also been sinned against. What we can do is choose to forgive and also, accept the healing and deliverance Jesus gives us. It wont happen all at once but yes we need to be serious about casting out all demons not just any that cause bipolar symptoms. And make sure they dont come back by abiding in the word of God.
